Everton fans laughed with laughter when Abdoulaye Doucoure appeared to accidentally call himself a 's***e'.

Numerous EvertonPlayers took to social media to celebrate their latest victory, but one star in particular went viral for him, accidentally leaving fans angry.

On Instagram, Doucoure posted a photo of him applauding fans with the caption: “Talent 10%. Mental 90%. Never give up.”

Of course, the 31-year-old, born in France, was probably referring to the more well-known mantra that talent does not guarantee success and the importance of a strong mentality as an athlete.

However, fans have interpreted his post slightly differently, laughing at the midfielder's unintentional suggestion that he was 10 per cent talented.

One fan joked: “Doucoure just said 'yeah, I'm shit.'”

“Self-awareness,” said another supporter.

A third joked: “Me at karaoke.”
